I had a facelift, blepharoplasty, brow lift and some fat and baggy skin removed from my neck. I am a coward, you might not think it with the extent of surgery undertaken but really,....I am. So I did the most extensive research ever and I spoke to several surgeons before deciding on Alex Karidis. I now live in the States, the plastic surgery capital of the world and I would travel to London to have my surgery with Alex Karidis, in fact I would not have anyone else. The results were excellent, he did not make me beautiful, but he is a plastic surgeon not a magician,...he can only work with the raw material presented to him,...I am reasonably attractive but the years had taken it's toll and he made me look fresh, less tired and because of that younger than I am. Nothing stops the clock, just turns it back a little and when I need it doing again I will go to Dr Karidis again. The after care is amazing, I never expected him to call me personally after I left the hospital, but he did. I had really bad swelling, it does not happen to everyone but sadly I suffered bad swelling,...it cannot be prevented or avoided it just happens. Medicine is not a precise science. But I was extremely happy with the results then in 2006 and I remain happy now almost 5 years later. I would advise everyone, pay a little more, worry a little less, pick the best.

The most amazing boobs!, September 8, 2009, 5:38 amReviewer: andreathefairy

From the intial consultation through to 5 weeks post surgery, I have been treated with the utmost professionalism and support.

Mr "I don't do bra sizes I do boobs" Karidis was spot on! I was a smal 34c and said ... "I don't want really big boobs that look false, I don't want to be able to feel my arms rub against them, I just sort of want a fuller pair that my dresses can hang off instead of my tummy!" and that is exactly what he gave me!! I have the most amazing pair of squishy, natural looking, perfectly symmetrical boobs!

I also have the pain threshold of a fly and was very worried indeed about the post op ... Mr Karidis said "you will not have any pain" and I thought "yeah right!, I feel pain getting my nails gelled!" ... however he was right!! from after the op to today I have never felt pain! The only discomfort I have had is my nipples were very sensitive, but certinaly no pain!

I had my dressings off a week ago and my scars are beautiful too :-)

All in all I am a very happy shopper indeed and for the extra £thousand it cost to see Mr Karidis to other surgeons (not mentioning the production line in Bristol!) it was most definitely worth it. I only had 4 days off work and in fact only 2 days at home - shopping on day 3 :-)
